India notifies Green Ammonia and Green Methanol standards
Change
India notified Green Ammonia and Green Methanol standards on February 27, 2026, setting lifecycle non‑biogenic GHG limits of no more than 0.38 kg CO2e per kg of ammonia and 0.44 kg CO2e per kg of methanol.
Why it matters
Producers must now demonstrate compliance with standardized lifecycle emissions criteria and obtain formal measurement, reporting, monitoring, on‑site verification, and certification to qualify products as 'Green'. Procurement processes and contract terms for existing tenders may need amendment or mutual agreement to align with the new standards, constraining sourcing and project design choices.
Implications
- • Green hydrogen derivative plant operators must design processes and supply chains to meet lifecycle non‑biogenic GHG thresholds and install measurement, reporting, monitoring, and on‑site verification systems.
- • Public and private procuring entities' contract teams must either continue under prior tender terms or, where feasible with mutual consent, amend contracts to require conformity with the new Green Ammonia and Green Methanol standards.
